Brief Product Description:
Kuladoo has found that the organic warmth of the wood and the tenderness and love between mother and child conveyed by this statuette make it the perfect gift for mothers, new and experienced.
Holding her baby face to face, a loving mother gazes proudly at the infant. Made Wirata carves the lithe forms in flowing curves, their bodies echoing one another's movements. The image is joyous and ethereal, capturing in suar wood the intimate connection they share.
Wirata first learned to carve from his father, who specialized in a particular style of carving locally known as sri bunga as well as keris - a traditional dagger. When he finished elementary school, he apprenticed with his uncle, who taught him to carve traditional images. In 1993, his interest in art lead him to learn from a cousin how the carving of modern statuettes. Wirata began to sell his work in order to sustain his studies and now several galleries in Bali are collecting his creations.
